Chief among the new content in W.M.D is the addition of vehicles, which may seem strange for a turn-based strategy/shooter, but ends up working terrifically. All three modes of transport have their advantages: tanks can traverse even the most harsh terrain, and have an explosive six-shell burst; mechs are manoeuvrable and can use their fists to send worms flying, and; helicopters let rip a barrage of machine gun fire. Yet they all have their respective weaknesses, too, and while they can do a lot of damage, they don't feel overpowered. Tanks and mechs are susceptible to vehicle mines and are bigger targets for your weapons, while 'choppers plummet to the ground if you don't land before your turn is over. Worms Rumble is Worms like you’ve never played it before, with intense, real-time, arena-based 32 player cross-platform combat. Get ready for frantic Deathmatches and intense Last Worm Standing! Take on up to five opponents in hilarious all-out tactical worm warfare with up to eight worms each, either in local or online multiplayer, including ranked play. Flatten your opponents with the Concrete Donkey. Turn them into chunks of worm meat with the Holy Hand Grenade. Rain down hell from above in helicopters or pound them into oblivion with the tank. With 80 weapons and utilities at your fingertips, this is Worms at its chaotic best! To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated to the latest system software. Although this game is playable on PS5, some features available on PS4 may be absent. See PlayStation.com/bc for more details. You should know how your weapon works – if it’s a shotgun, don’t start combat by shooting someone with it from a distance, try to get closer before you open fire and give yourself away. Worms Rumble gives you plenty of opportunities to ambush and otherwise surprise enemies, the biggest of which are the areas on each map that are covered until you enter them. You could jump out yourself with a shotgun, lay a sentry or two to surprise some unsuspecting invertebrate, or use them to sneak around and flank an enemy.

Of course, the single player pales in comparison to the incredible fun of playing with friends. Since up to six teams can play (and, with eight worms on each side, there can be up to 48 worms on the field), multiplayer can fall into absolute chaos as explosions and vehicles cut down swathes of worms, sending them barrelling into each other and into the water. Even if you're losing, the crafting keeps things fair, allowing even the weakest team to make the biggest impact if they have the weapon parts. With random map generation (and a number of variables to control), it offers great replayability. Weapons aren't the only thing that W.M.D has in abundance: as well as the usual local and online multiplayer, there are tutorial missions that show you the ropes of almost every base weapon and mechanic in the game, a 30-mission single-player campaign with objectives and challenges to fulfil, and 10 challenge missions.. The single-player content isn't just made up of normal battles, though, as fresh stipulations, scenarios, and modes keep things interesting. Tarrant, Ben (1 November 2017).

When you’ve got sentry guns, sheep, and bazookas going off all around you it’s easy to forget the humble length of wood that is your baseball bat. You might not be able to hit worms into the stratosphere to home run music or skim them across water, but you definitely can use it to finish them off instead of reloading. Even better, if you time it right you can deflect grenades, but you’ll still have to provide the home run music yourself. You don’t want to rely on your bat entirely though, though, so you’re going to want to… Take part in seasonal and community events, and daily challenges for additional XP and in-game rewards.
